Vintage Dietz No 1 Little Wizard Blue Kerosene Lantern Hong Kong
This vintage Dietz No 1 Little Wizard cold blast kerosene lantern features its original faded blue factory finish and is clearly stamped "Made In Hong Kong" on the bottom fount casing, dating its production between 1956 and 1988. This specific iteration was adapted from the earlier large-fount Dietz Little Giant contractor design and features an integrated wire globe lifter, a rising cone for streamlined wick trimming, and a classic clear glass globe embossed with the prominent Dietz trademark. The piece displays an authentic, rustic age-earned patina with structural surface rust, minor paint chipping, and grease residue across the metal surfaces and fuel tank cap, making it a highly desirable character piece for industrial farmhouse decor or collectors of antique transportation and railroadiana hardware
